ooo Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) The hashtagg or rockman stem has a pretty common geo (150x30), but will add some height I think. Do you prefer a normal handlebar angle or will you tip them forward ? There is an echo CNC that is 158x30 I think too. What handle bars do you have now ?

insomnia Posted February 17, 2016 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 No rolled Forwards bars. trialtech sl Carbon bar atm or trialtech high riser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 The Hashtagg stem is marginally less rise than other forged stems at around 28°, but still at around 150mm. It would end up putting your bars up by 8-9mm, but give you about 2mm less reach so not really ideal... The only other option is going to be something like the Echo TR stem, but if you're not keen on welded stems that's by the by (Kenny Belaey did use one for a long time on his GT with no problems). I just worked out the comparison between that 145x25 stem and the Echo SL 158x30 stem and it ends up giving you no extra reach at all either, unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ooo Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 lame, that sucks. I have a similar situation, I'm not keen on rolling bars forward either. The echo carbon bars have less rise so maybe you could combine them with a mod stem if you can't remove stackers ? I'm not even sure if mod stems are that big any more. Seems like everyone just has to roll their bars to a stupid angle these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 Most mod stems will usually be 30° or 35° so they'll have the opposite effect as well. There just isn't really anything on the market it seems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyT Posted February 17, 2016 Report Share Posted February 17, 2016 (edited) Only 150x30 I could find was the Echo TR... Had a bitch of a time getting my Trialtech Carbon bars in there but once they were in- no problems since... Went to to the 150x30 from a Bonz 145x25.. World of difference Edited February 17, 2016 by AndyT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
